I know it’s been a while. I know. Let’s put that behind us and move on to greener pastures. Or dead ones. The potato patch, to be specific. Potatoes are a cash crop and worth the effort. [No, not really.] Potatoes grown in the garden are amazingly different from their supermarket counterparts and worth the [...] 
(the most important day of the year.) We, in Minnesota, are in the midst of about the worst Spring ever. Rain, snow, frost, wind and more rain. It hasn’t been the best environment to garden in. It. Has. Been. Dismal. But on the most important day of the year, the sun shone. All day. [...] 
Mmmmm. I know I tend to go on and on about Kale. But seriously? It’s that good. Everyone just assumes it tastes like spinach. But it really doesn’t. Lacking a good comparison, however, that’s what most people say. Including me, I’ll admit. Because there isn’t a good comparison. It tastes like Kale. Nutty, earthy, [...] I need a garden fix. I want to weed. I want to escape this stupid computer and stupid soccer and get the Hell out of my office. My dog is ready to implode. I have chicks in my laundry room. The cats are sitting in the trees with the bird feeders. It’s raining. It’s [...] The Honeymoon. Yes, we are one week into the Honeymoon Stage of our asparagus harvest. That is the time where it is still a joy and a wonder to walk into the garden and find 20-30 spears that grew six inches overnight. I snap them off at the base, bring them in the house, [...] …With a bulb planter While I like to pretend to know what I’m talking about, in this case, you must take my preachings with a grain of salt. Or maybe even less. As I’ve said before, I tend to cut corners on tasks that I don’t care for. And one of those tasks is [...] 
Ignore that picture, as there is nothing wrong with it. What I should have done is take a picture of the date next to the cute little rows off pointy-headed bulbs. Because that would be more appropriate with the title of this post. You see, I am approximately 4.5 months late planting my shallots. [...] 
…For Poop Sorry for that sick photo, but you either a) get it, or b) don’t. If you don’t, then you obviously do not own a dog in a northern state that receives any appreciable snowfall. I do. And I am making my annual rounds on poop duty. It is a thankless job. If [...] And Valentine’s Day wrapped up in one. Dave gave me two cookbooks for Valentine’s Day. One was an Indian cookbook and the other was a vegetarian cookbook. Which proves that even though he is pissing and moaning about Meatless Mondays, he is – in fact – encouraging me to continue. I was very excited. [...] Or is it the World’s Tallest Asparagus? It’s really hard to show just how tall the asparagus really is. I suppose I should be in the shot, to show the human proportion, but then, you’d all see how gross I look. (But just so you know, it is way taller than 5’7″ me.) Actually, [...] |
